The states can act where the federal government fails to do so. I figure the problem in the Republican party is you have big money benefactors v the voters and the Republican party wants to sidestep such a confrontation.

Chances are that some Republicans will fall because of their stance on the issue. I hope it is those supporting amnesty in the Senate. If so the Republican party will change.

What we need to remember here is that the RINO’s in the Senate combined with the Democrats will NEVER allow a “borders only” bill to pass.

For them the ONLY thing is amnesty and open borders. What they offer is “give us amnesty and guest worker now and we promise border security later”. It is a lie. When they get what they want they will throw a few crumbs like the unarmed National Guardsmen, but nothing REAL will be done.

The best option by far is to keep the issue open.

The problem is not one of simplicity, but of complexity. If the legislature was really serious about Immigration, a practical ammendment to the current act would have sufficed. Appropriate more money to enforcement and investigation, establish a workable and enforcable guest worker program, and a program to allow current illegals to register within ninety days and apply for citizenship. It would still take five years, but they could be on the road to legalization. This would be a one time deal. There would be no other chances in the future and if they failed to register, well then let the mass deportations begin.

I am against illegal, or as I put it in my blog, unnatural immigrants. On the other hand, how many of them, unknown to us, are our next door neighbors, baby sitters, drinking buddies, etc. I also do not believe that there is any racism here. This is not only a Hispanic problem. There are illegal Poles, Irish, Russians, Asians, and others here. The race card must be shredded.

Immigration Must Wait
I fully believe that it is possible to strengthen our borders, tighten up on illegals currently in the country by enforcing laws, and fight the war on terror abroad all at the same time.

Stopping illegal immigration and national security should go hand in hand. Illegal immigration is a threat to our security.

Illegal advocates losing steam?
Could be.Fewer than 4,000 people marched yesterday in Los Angeles to demand rights for illegal aliens, one of the biggest busts in a day of weak turnouts for Labor Day immigration protests around the country. “About 3,500 people turned out…

Republicans Are Making A Key Mistake
If this New York Times piece is true (a huge assumption, I assure you), then Republicans are making a very big mistake leading up to the elections:

As they prepare for a critical pre-election legislative stretch, Congressional Republican leaders have a
